Lauren O. Thyme was working on her Master’s Degree while interning with Dr. Joshua David Stone, psychologist, author and teacher in the Ascended Master Teachings. Frustrated, she began making up a story for each of her clients, an inspiration which proved to be far more powerful for her than counseling. Discovering that a person’s “fairy tale” made a deep and lasting impression, Lauren terminated her internship and commenced writing. Thus THYMELY TALES: Transformational Fairy Tales for Adults and Children was born, the first of her many metaphysical, spiritual, and holistic books. This second edition of THYMELY TALES retains all her original stories and illustrations. When she was working on THYMELY TALES Lauren was living with her then-current partner, Devon Q. Thyme, who illustrated THYMELY TALES.
Each fairytale in THYMELY TALES is based on an actual person she knew, and his/her struggle to learn, grow and evolve. Her own tale is entitled “Luminous Laura the Firefly.” As a child Lauren loved Grimm’s Fairy Tales and Aesop’s Fables. Like the Grimm Brothers and Aesop, THYMELY TALES combines unforgettable, fantastical characters like Bag Ladies, Princes, Psychologists, Nurses, Fireflies, CIA spies, Pirates, and Fairies. THYMELY TALES expresses simple stories which illuminate universal archetypes, as well as spiritual and ethical values. Metaphorical archetypes are similar to those elaborated on in the writings of Plato, Dr. Carl Jung, and Joseph Campbell.
THYMELY TALES is written for both children and adults. Parents can read a fairytale to their children every night at bedtime, for both entertainment and enlightenment.
Lauren is continually discovering that stories are amazing and influential vehicles for people to appreciate and understand profound truths — at sensitive, emotional, and spiritual levels — what cannot easily be expressed or understood in logical, rational terms.
Also included in THYMELY TALES, 2nd edition, is a new section entitled “How to write your own fairy tale.”
